Loki and Jade
Jade Elizabeth Taylor is a British-Canadian singer-songwriter releasing new music now — one song a month, beginning with a fresh Americana version of Bluebell Child. Her sound lives at the warm intersection of folk, jazz, blues, and Americana. Unhurried. Honest. Built to last.
Her album Shades of Jade features Grammy Award-winning cellist Barry Phillips and the remarkable Allison Russell, recorded across studios in California and Texas with an extraordinary ensemble of musicians.
But the roots go deep. From the folk clubs of Vancouver in the late 1970s — running sound at the legendary Soft Rock Café in Kitsilano and working CBC radio feeds alongside Ferron, Valdy, and Silly Wizard — to the East Village in New York, where she was an integral part of the Fast Folk Musical Cooperative and a regular at the legendary Speakeasy, Jade has been living at the heart of American folk music for decades. Thirty-seven years in California only deepened that story.
She’s singing about it now.
